So what all these blogs have been doing with the head to head comparison, beef vs imitation meats, is comparing nutrient compositionare the imitations better or worse than beef? calories: the impossible and the beyond are around the same, about 250cals. Beef, 205-290protein, 19g for the impossible, 20g for beyond. beef: 16 - 28gsaturated fat 8g for the impossible, 6 for beyond, and about 6 for beef in the impossible they also added heme iron, leghemoglobinThe beyond on the other hand doesn’t have any heme ironsoy: impossible burger has it, the beyond doesn’t. background image credit: Vladimir Mokry @UnsplashDisclaimer: The Information in this video is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, nor to replace medical care.
